I used the modifier "meaningful" just to say I didn't have enough to produce any significant amount. I definitely could've put my $1,200 into the S&P but if I did I certainly wouldn't have $100,000 right now.

I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, just saying that given my financial situation + real estate knowledge at the time it made a lot of sense to buy the house rather than put my money in the stock market.
